So I'm applying with a couple of outfits contracted to start delivering Amazon on September 7th. At one of them the two guys working in the office both worked at UPS over 20 years. Heard one of them telling an applicant that UPS was going to lose 800,000 pkgs a day from Amazon and that of course UPS was very concerned. Big changes coming.
If anyone gets wind in your area of similar contractors, one of them here is starting at $16.50hr and after 90 days $17.50hr. I asked if pickups were involved and he said maybe someday, but for now only deliveries and almost all residential. I told him that sounded like a great job. 4 days on, 4 days off. FedEx may be losing Ground drivers to this.
